Reasonable but not outragious interconnects


Hi,

Can you all please give me some recommendations on rca interconnects lets say in the $50-$75 per pair range for 3’? 

I have the new b&w 804 d3’s, Classe amp and Marantz pre amp. I’m not looking for $200/ft cables. Just something decent and reasonable. I know a lot of people on this forum go super expensive. I will admit I am running monoprice cables on it now and it sounds really good but I think I could get the little bit more out of this system with better. 

Thanks

If you don't want to build your own there are a couple of good choices, Blue Jeans Cable LC-1 are about $40 for a 3-ft. pair.

Signal makes good, reasonabley priced interconnects.

If you do want to build your own I would concur with the recommendation of Mogami or Canare microphone cable with your choice of connector. I've made several pair from the Mogami with Vampire RCAs and am quite happy with them.
I think that sfar has inadvertently somewhat muddied the waters in this low cost interconnect discussion. You can buy any of the cables already assembled. This would be my recommendation: https://www.markertek.com/product/msc3rr/mogami-neglex-quad-audio-cable-rca-male-to-male-3-foot-blac...


The reason I did not recommend Blue Jeans LC-1 is that of the big three good but reasonable priced speaker wire manufacturers, I tend to prefer mogami for interconnects, canare for speaker cables and belden for neither. The LC-1 is made from belden wire. This is only in my system, but I wanted to mention my reasoning to you.

I have not tried the signal cable that sfar recommends, but have read only great things about them. One pet peeve I have (not about signal cable in particular) is when the RCA that I am considering ends up being the lowest in their product line.

I can recommend the Audioquest Silver Extreme IC's. Available from HCM for about $90 (list price was $400). I bought 5 sets! Can't beat the value/price ratio!
